Refrigerator magnet variety
expands further
Full-on customization has resulted in a broad design selection
covering playful and practical.
China-made refrigerator magnets are available in
a wide range of materials, surface treatments and
design application methods, allowing buyers to
have their way with customization.
Metal, rubber, plastic and even wood are used,
with some suppliers offering environmentfriendly options. In terms of finish, metal designs
are usually electroplated while plastic types are
coated with epoxy.
Designs are 2D- or 3D-embossed, laser-engraved
or offset-printed. Famous landmarks and seasonal
characters are mainstream while themes inspired
by paintings and pop culture are emerging. Such
models are primarily decorative. Functional types,
including those that double as a memo board or
photo frame, are also available.
The handpicked products in this gallery represent
these current trends in refrigerator magnets.
